Smile Better And Brighter With Composite Fillings

When it comes to dental health, composite dental fillings are a true game-changer at Discovery Dental in Ajax, ON. These innovative fillings offer a safer, more aesthetic, and durable alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Our dental fillings services utilize top-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your fillings not only look natural but also last for years to come.

What are composite fillings?

Composite dental fillings, or tooth-coloured or white fillings, are made of a blend of resin and finely ground glass particles. This unique mixture allows them to mimic the natural colour and appearance of your teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile. This aesthetic advantage alone makes them a popular choice among dental patients.

How are they placed?

Our dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area thoroughly. The composite resin is applied in layers, each of which is hardened with a special curing light. This layering technique ensures a strong bond and a tight seal, which helps prevent future decay. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contour of the tooth. At Discovery Dental, our tooth cavity filling services are designed to restore the health and aesthetics of your teeth with minimal discomfort and optimal results.

What are the advantages of composite fillings over amalgam fillings?

One of the most significant advantages of composite dental fillings is their cosmetic appeal. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are silver and highly visible when you open your mouth, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth. This means you can smile confidently without worrying about anyone noticing your dental work. With our dental cavity filling services, we ensure that each filling not only improves your dental health but also enhances your smile aesthetically.

Additionally, composite fillings are mercury-free, making them a safer option for dental restoration. Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which has raised health concerns over the years. Composite fillings eliminate this worry, providing a safer alternative for patients and dental professionals.

Furthermore, composite fillings require less healthy tooth structure removal than amalgam fillings. They bond directly to the tooth, providing additional support and stability. This means preserving more of your natural teeth and promoting long-term dental health.
